Description
Meraki MS210-24P Network Switch Nigeria
Meraki MS210-24P Nigeria provides Layer 2 access switching for branch and small campus locations. This Meraki Network Switch supports an optional, rack-mountable PSU (Cisco RPS-2300) for power redundancy requirements. The Meraki MS210-24P Nigeria includes 4 x 1G SFP uplinks and physically stacks with the MS225 to gain access to its 10G uplink. Built from the ground up, Meraki MS210-24P is easy to manage without compromising any of the power and flexibility traditionally found in enterprise-class switches.
Meraki MS210-24P Nigeria is managed through an elegant, intuitive cloud interface, rather than a cryptic command line. To bring up a Meraki switch, just plug it in; there’s no need for complicated configuration files or even direct physical access to the switch. Meraki’s centralized management gives administrators deep visibility into the network and how it’s used. See which switches are near capacity across hundreds of sites and also find all configuration changes made with instant search.

Converged Voice, Video and Data Environments
The Meraki MS210-24P Nigeria is designed to unify data, voice, and video onto a single IP backbone. All Meraki switches support rich quality of-service (QoS) functionality for prioritizing data, voice, and video traffic. The switches support eight class-of-service (CoS) queues on every port, enabling them to maintain end-to-end traffic prioritization. PoE models provide power VoIP telephones, IP security cameras, wireless access points (APs), and other IP devices.
Application Layer Visibility
Meraki MS210-24P Nigeria includes integrated Layer 7 fingerprinting. Identify hundreds of applications from business apps to BitTorrent and YouTube. User fingerprinting with Google-like search allows administrators to easily identify and control individual users, PCs, iMacs, iPads, Androids, and other devices. This unprecedented visibility allows optimizing of network resources and maintaining optimal network performance.
Unified Software Architecture
Meraki switches run the same Meraki operating system used by all of Meraki’s products. The use of a common operating system allows Meraki to deliver a consistent experience across all product lines. When connected, Meraki MS210-24P Nigeria automatically connect to the Meraki cloud, download configuration, and join the appropriate network. If new firmware is required, this is retrieved by the switch and updated automatically. This ensures the network is kept up-to date with bug fixes, security updates, and new features.
Simplified Management and Operations
Meraki MS210-24P Nigeria is cloud-managed architecture makes it simpler than ever to quickly provision and reconfigure switch ports with security, QoS, and other parameters. The Meraki dashboard provides unified policies, event logs, and monitoring, which make it easy to manage and grow large network deployments. By providing a complete, powerful set of management functions over the web, Meraki’s cloud-based management eliminates the need for proprietary command line configuration interfaces which require expensive and time consuming certifications.
Designed for Reliability & Environmental Efficiency
The Meraki MS210-24P Nigeria is designed for reliable, long-lived operation in wiring closet environments, which may be prone to high temperatures and limited ventilation. By minimizing total component count and only using proven switching silicon, Meraki is able to deliver highly reliable products with exceptional mean time between failure (MTBF) ratings. Each Meraki switch also operates with a split-plane architecture, where silicon-based switching and data forwarding are separated from software-based control and management. By decoupling the underlying switching logic from control, each unit is able to deliver wire-speed switching even when advanced software features such as Layer 7 host and OS fingerprinting are enabled.
Distributed Branches & Remote Sites
Meraki’s cloud-based system makes it easy to manage a single switch, or thousands of distributed switches, from a single interface.
- Troubleshoot problems remotely, e.g., find which port has a bad cable attached.
- Add or replace switches without having to send a technician onsite. Switches automatically download their current configuration as soon as they are connected to the network.
- Receive email alerts or SMS messages whenever there’s a problem at a remote site.
Campus Edge
- MS switches are ideal for small and large scale campus deployments, where reliability, scalability, and manageability are top priorities.
- Virtual Stacking lets administrators manage up to thousands of ports in a single interface without having to physically connect stack members.
- Get alerts if any switch fails or goes offline, before users complain.
